Deputies says Wall was arrested Tuesday on drug possession charges and Singleton also was arrested for resisting arrest without violence.
The Florida Department of Children and Families conducted an investigation and concluded that Skylah should be taken into custody.
Deputies say the family didn’t cooperate and when the parents were released from jail on Tuesday they disappeared with Skylah.
